The C-Class ferries are a class of double-ended ferries operated by BC Ferries in the Strait of Georgia in British Columbia, and were all constructed during the 1970s and early 1980s.
These are double ended ferries that have a separate bridge at each end of the ferry and therefore they are not required to turn around during the sailing.
At one time these ferries operated on the Swartz Bay-Tsawwassen route, but limitations placed on their speed when transiting Active Pass (after an accident they were required to operate in the more maneuverable docking mode rather than cruising mode) make it unfeasible to run them on that route anymore.

The Century class ferry is a Mclaren and Sons,naval architects design that is intended to service the busier Gulf Island routes in British Columbia.
This ferry runs solely on the Swartz Bay-Saltspring Island (at Fulford Harbour) route (except for a brief four-day trial on the Horseshoe Bay to Bowen Island run from April 23 to April 26, 1998).
There is some speculation as to why the other two vessels in the class were not built.The obvious reason is that the high speed ferry program consummed all available funds.

B.C. Ferries operates a total of 39 steel ferries, 17 of which operate on "open water" mainland routes and 22 of which operate on short distance routes to various islands on the protected waters of the B.C. coast.
Further analysis of the resistance and powering data indicated that the bare hull resistance of the group of steerable drive ferries were similar to the bare hull resistance of the conventionally propelled ferries.
In addition, the User Committee raised the issue that the new Century Class ferry was required to have very little lateral resistance to permit the vessel to hold herself in a cross current, without being swept downstream; a very real requirement of the Campbell River/Quathiaski Cove route.

British Columbia Ferry Services Inc. or BC Ferries is the company that provides all major passenger and vehicle ferry services on the West Coast of British Columbia.
BC Ferries' first route, commissioned in 1960, was between Swartz Bay, a small suburb of Sidney, and Tsawwassen, a part of the Corporation of Delta, using just two vessels.
The argument for domestic construction of the ferries is that it would employ numerous British Columbia workers, would revitalize the sagging B.C. shipbuilding industry, and entitle the provincial government to a large portion of the cost in the form of taxes.

 Re-evaluating John Brown's Raid at Harpers Ferry
There is evidence also that several slaves and free Negroes from the Harpers Ferry region participated in the raid; those who were killed or captured were surreptitiously disposed of by the State of Virginia, and those who escaped went quickly and quietly back to their residences in order to avoid detection.
Even after the Harpers Ferry raid had failed and Brown had been tried and executed, many people were reluctant to reveal their parts in the project, for fear of prosecution.
The argument was used by the South to hasten secession: The raid symbolized the ruthlessness of the North, of abolitionism, in attacking the cherished institutions of the South; and to emphasize this argument, the South enlarged the significance of the raid by punishing its participants harshly and quickly.
